Armco Safety End

Push-Fit Protective End Cap for Armco Barrier Systems

The Armco Safety End is a high-visibility protective end cap designed to improve safety at the exposed ends of Armco safety barrier systems. Installed as a push-fit terminal, it provides a simple and effective solution for covering sharp or burred edges on steel Armco rails, helping to reduce the risk of injury to personnel and damage to vehicles.

Manufactured in the UK from durable linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) and finished in a colour-fast yellow, the Armco Safety End delivers long-term performance while enhancing the visibility of barrier systems within industrial and commercial environments.

Designed to Improve Safety at Barrier End Points

Exposed ends of Armco barriers can present a hazard in busy operational environments, particularly where pedestrian traffic and material handling equipment operate in close proximity. Sharp or unfinished steel edges increase the risk of injury, especially in areas with frequent movement or limited visibility.

The Armco Safety End is specifically designed to:

• Cover exposed and potentially hazardous rail ends
• Reduce the risk of cuts, abrasions and impact injuries Improve visibility of barrier terminations
• Provide a cleaner and more professional installation finish

By addressing these risks, the product supports safer working environments and helps maintain compliance with internal safety standards.

Push-Fit Design for Fast Installation

The Armco Safety End features a push-fit installation, eliminating the need for additional fixings or specialist tools. This allows for quick and efficient fitting, making it ideal for both new installations and retrofit applications.

Installation benefits include:

• No drilling or fixings required
• Rapid installation across multiple barrier runs
• Minimal disruption to site operations
• Easy replacement if damaged

This makes it a practical solution for facilities requiring efficient safety upgrades or ongoing maintenance.

Compatible with Standard Armco Barriers

The safety end is designed to fit standard 310 mm x 85 mm corrugated Armco rails, ensuring compatibility with widely used barrier systems across the UK.

Available in two size options:

• 135 mm length (small end)
• 240 mm length (large end)

These options allow the correct fit to be selected depending on the installation requirement and level of coverage needed.

High Visibility Yellow Finish

Finished in a colour-fast yellow polymer, the Armco Safety End provides strong visual contrast against galvanised steel barriers. This improves awareness for both vehicle operators and pedestrians, particularly in low-light or high-traffic environments.

Visibility benefits include:

• Clear identification of barrier end points
• Improved driver awareness during manoeuvring
• Enhanced safety in warehouses and service yards
• Consistency with industry-standard safety colours

The product is colour matched to Brandsafe’s wider range of impact protection and safety systems, supporting a cohesive and professional site appearance.

Durable Polymer Construction

Manufactured from LLDPE with a UV stabilised, colour-fast formulation, the Armco Safety End is designed to perform reliably in both internal and external environments.

Material advantages include:

• High impact resistance
• Long-term durability
• Resistance to weathering and UV exposure
• Non-corrosive properties
• Low maintenance requirements

The polymer construction ensures the product maintains its performance and appearance over time, even in demanding industrial environments.

Supports a Complete Barrier Safety System

The Armco Safety End is designed to complement existing Armco barrier installations and integrate seamlessly with Brandsafe’s full range of safety products.

This allows facilities to:

• Enhance existing barrier systems without full replacement
• Maintain consistent safety standards across sites
• Improve both functionality and visual presentation
• Create a unified safety system across operational areas
